Chapter 709 Gift

Time flies and it's the weekend. Coincidentally, today is Sun Shuyue's one-month birthday.

Early in the morning, Sun Zhengnan and Li Chunwang came to the compound to report the situation.

"Brother, we have completed the task you instructed us to do."

"Hmm~! You've all worked hard, haven't you had breakfast yet? Let's eat together."

"Okay!"

The two were close relatives, so there was no formality or restraint between them.

After they entered the house, they greeted the old man and the others, and then joined the group of people eating.

It turned out that the reason they went out early in the morning was to deliver vegetables to the hotel.

Soon, everyone finished breakfast, and while clearing the table, Grandpa asked a question.

"Jung-guk, shall we go straight to the hotel now and help with the setup?"

"No."

Sun Zhengguo shook his head. "Grandpa, do you think we're still handling things in the courtyard and have to borrow chairs and tables? The hotel has these things. We can go after 10 o'clock."

"Oh! I see!"

Grandpa nodded, stood up and went back to his room. Grandma followed him in.

I wonder what the two of them went off to do?

A moment later, the two elderly people returned to the living room, with the grandmother holding a small wooden box in her hand.

"Zhengguo, today is Yueyue's one-month birthday. As the eldest in the family, we didn't know what to give her, so we asked someone to help us customize a longevity lock. Now we're giving it to you."

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, and thank you on behalf of Yueyue as well."

Sun Zhengguo didn't stand on ceremony and took the wooden box.

After all, this is a kind gesture from an elderly person, and refusing it would be the greatest hurt.

"Open it quickly and see if you like it or not!" Grandpa urged.

"We like anything that you two give us."

As he spoke, Sun Zhengguo opened the box, and inside was a golden longevity lock with his surname and the words "May you live a long and healthy life" engraved on it.

Moreover, the entire longevity lock is inlaid with jadeite and Hetian jade, making it look seamless and exquisitely crafted. It is truly beautiful.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! Grandpa, Grandma, thank you. I'm sure Yueyue will love this gift."

"If you like it, that's good, that's good, hahaha!" Grandpa laughed heartily.

It was worth all the time they spent preparing. They even hired a highly skilled master craftsman, spending two years' worth of pocket money before he finally agreed to take the job.

As expected, you get what you pay for. They are very happy to see that their grandson likes it so much.

After all, money is something you can't take with you when you're born or when you die; it will have to be left to your grandchildren after you two pass away.

After accepting the gift, Sun Zhengguo immediately went to his room to present it to his daughter.

"Yueyue, look what this is? It was a gift from your great-grandfather and great-grandmother."

As he spoke, he shook the wooden box, hoping his daughter would give him some response.

But Yueyue is only a month old today, so what kind of reaction could he have? He just blinked his eyes and watched Sun Zhengguo perform.

Ning Xiaowei saw her husband holding a wooden box, and not knowing what was inside, she asked.

"Jung-guk, what's in here?"

"Oh! Open it and take a look."

Sun Zhengguo casually handed the box to his wife, Ning Xiaowei. She took the wooden box, opened it, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Wow! It's so beautiful!

However, she then became a little worried, "Jung-guk, Grandpa and Grandma will have to spend a lot of money this time, right?"

“Silly girl, do you think the old folks care about this money? Their most important thing is to be happy, that’s more important than anything else,” Sun Zhengguo said with a smile, tapping his wife’s forehead.

"Alright then! As long as they're happy."

Ning Xiaowei didn't want to dwell on this issue, because she had more important things to do right now.

"Zhengguo, I haven't taken a shower yet during my postpartum period! I'm going to take a shower first and then change my clothes. You keep an eye on Yueyue for now, I'll be right back."

"Yes, yes, let's go quickly! My wife will smell delicious again!"

Hearing Sun Zhengguo's teasing words, Ning Xiaowei pursed her lips and remained silent, preparing to settle accounts with him later.

Half an hour later, before Ning Xiaowei had even finished her shower, Sun Dajiang and his wife, along with her second uncle's family, arrived.

Little Yueyue was taken away by Lin Wencui, and Sun Zhengguo was also freed.

Sun Dajiang then took out a gift, wrapped in red cloth, and handed it to his son.

"Jung-guk, this is a small token of our appreciation for our granddaughter. Please take it."

Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo did not reach out to take it, but instead asked a question.

"Dad, weren't you supposed to be handling the banquet? What's going on here?"

“One thing at a time. I told you to take it, so take it. What, does Dad’s word not carry weight?” Sun Dajiang said, glaring at his son.

"It works great, it works great."

Sun Zhengguo smiled, reached out and took the gift, which contained a pair of gold bracelets.

"Mom and Dad, thank you."

"Don't be so polite! It's for my granddaughter, not for you."

Just as Sun Dajiang finished presenting his treasure, Sun Dahe, not to be outdone, also took out a gift.

"Jung-guk, this is a gift from your great-uncle. Please accept it!"

Well then! Having learned from the previous example, Sun Zhengguo had no choice but to accept it.

He opened his second uncle's gift and saw that it was a horse-shaped pendant, made of gold.

Perhaps feeling that the amount was insufficient, my second uncle even prepared a jade pendant with the words "peace and joy" engraved on it.

"Second Uncle, Second Aunt, thank you."

"Oh! You child, you're being too polite with us. If anyone should thank you, it's your second uncle's family."

Sun Dahe spoke very sincerely, after all, which of his relatives didn't owe Sun Zhengguo something?

As they were talking, the mother-in-law's family arrived. As soon as they entered the house, Wang Guiying explained.

“Zhengguo, your older brother has some things to do at the military base, but he said he will definitely come over at noon.”

"It's alright, Mom, as long as you can come," Sun Zhengguo replied with a smile, then invited his mother-in-law and her family to sit down first.

Who knew that Wang Guiying was also an impatient person? Forget about sitting down, let's present the gifts first.

The gifts she prepared today, besides buying the child a new outfit from head to toe, also included a large shipment.

"Mom, isn't this gift a bit too extravagant?"

When Sun Zhengguo saw his mother-in-law's gift, his eyes widened in surprise.

A golden rice bowl and golden chopsticks, with auspicious words printed on them, and they are even life-size replicas. How worried they must be that their daughter is going hungry!

"It's nothing, just for good luck, please accept it! By the way, where's Xiaowei?"

As soon as Wang Guiying finished speaking, her daughter's voice came from behind.

"Mom, I'm here! I just took a shower."

As Ning Xiaowei spoke, she greeted the others.

Before the group could even sit down and chat for a few minutes, Grandpa and Aunt's family arrived.

Of course, there will be plenty of gifts, and each family will receive something different.

Sun Zhengguo strongly suspected that they had planned this together.

His goal was to mold his daughter into Nezha, covering her with magical treasures.
